the past swimming season, won perhaps the most remarkable victory among
girls and women. She captured the 880-championship race in which she had to
defeat fullgrown women with many more years of experience in swimming.
In doing so she made a record, and clipped more than a minute from the old
record. Josehine Hose, of St. Louis, aged fourteen, was placed fourth in the

'Farmers Victimized by
Farm Loan Swindlers
Washington, D. C., Oct. 14. —The
Federal Farm Loan Board's warning
to farmers against swindlers seeking
to profit by organization of land banks
has begun to bring in many reports of
victims. The board recently announced
that it would refuse charters to any
banks in whose organization money
had gone for promotion purposes.
The board to-day issued this sup
plemental warning:
"Farmers who borrow through the
national farm loan associations are not
required to pay any advance commis
sions. So all of these enterprises re
quiring payments from farmers are
declared by the board to be fraudulent
and the attention of the Department
of Justice has been called to the matter
and an attempt will be made to bring
the offenders to justice."

HUDSON'S TRIUMPH
REMARKABLE ONE
Record Trip Both Ways Across
Continent Shows Possibilities
and Advance of Motorcars
The Hudson Super-Six did a won
derful thing when it ran from San
Francisco to New York in five days
three hours and thirty-one minutes.
But it was a more marvelous accom
plishment when that same car turned
around and went back across the con
tinent and completed the round trip
in ten days twenty-one hours and
three minutes.
Up to last August the best one-way
tfme for any automobile was seven
days and eight hours. But the same
Hudson Super-Six has now made the
round trip in just two and a half days
longer time than was required for the
one-way trip In the best record up to
August. The Hudson on its return
trip beat every previous transcontl
| nental record except Its own. It had
J a fair chance to do that up to the last
leg of the trip. On the going trip the
distance from San Francisco to Elko,
Nevada, was made in 20 hours. On
account of rains in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, thirty-five hours were re
quired on the return trip to negotiate
that distance. The car was 1 ',4 hours
ahead of its schedule when it reached
Elko. But as It took fifteen hours
longer to finish the last COO miles than
we required in making those same 600
miles In the going trip. It was unable
to break Its own record. Still it ar
rived back in San Francisco in fifty
seven minutes less time than any other
car that ever made the transconti
nental run.
One does not have to bo the "oldest
inhabitant" to recall the year when
a fast railroad train trying for a mail
contract took six days to cross the con
tinent. Anything less than six days in
a Journey by rail from coast to coast
was worth mention in the news col
umns. But a few years ago it was
worth a first pape announcement
when an automobile turlng party was
able to report, no matter In how many
days, that it made the full distance
unaided.
The transcontinental run of the
Hudson Super-Six marks a new mile
stone in civilization's progress. The
run from San Francisco to New York
and return is a most marvelous record.
Xo automobile ever before attempted
the round trip against time. The Hud
son Super-Six set out to establish a
record for endurance. Every test it
has entered It has won. It was not
that records were desired to tihow
speed, but that proof was sought In
dicating that the Super-Six, by rea
son of its exclusively controlled and
patented motor, so reduced vibration
that a new standard of motor endur
ance has been established by it. Speed
proves endurance to a motor Just as
it shows the endurance of a man.
Continuous fast running produces the
same fatigue to machinery as it does
to a man. So by tests on the speed
way, when the Super-Six was driven
1,819 miles in twenty-four hours—s2
per cent, further than any other trav
eling machine ever went in that time
—we,were able to crowd punishment
into that short time exceeding any
thing like years of service would Im
pose upon the car.
It is 3,4 76 miles from San Francisco
to New York. In the going trip the
OCTOBER 14, 1916.
i Super-Six averaged 28.14 miles per
hour. This included all'stops and the
slowing down to the speed require
ments of more than 350 cities, towns
and villages. The return trip, ior the
reasons already stated, was not so fast.
But counting all stops from the time
the car left San Francisco until it re
turned, it traveled 7,952 miles at the
rate of approximately 700 miles a day.
By a single invention the Super-Six
patented motor which Hudson exclu
sively controls was this speed made
possible. Science produced that motor
out of the Hudson engineering staff.
Science, brought the motorcar up to
its present point of reliability. Finely
tempered steel and other metals, it is
true, made possible the remarkable
run of the Super-Six. But these were
available also to all cars. It was the
Super-Six patented motor which has
increased the efficiency of the auto
mobile to the extent shown in this
remarkable round trip across the con
tinent.
Gasoline is the great magician that*
makes possible miracles undreamed of
when the Arabian Nights were made
so entrancing by man's Imaginative
powers. Tribute must be paid to the
ingenuity of man that has developed
that magician. But greater tribute
must be paid to the higher refinements
of mechanical and chemical skill
which combined find expression in
the Hudson Super-Six to the extent
of making possible its great perform
ances and thus point to the possibili
ties of motorcar development.
Such performances as have been
shown by the Super-Six set the world
to thinking. They open new channels
of thought about our country. Where
the automobile has proved in such a
startling way how it links the country
to the city, the Super-Six proves how
to link coast to coast. Through the
development of gasoline and me
chanical development as has been
shown in the Super-Six it has laced
together the great wastes of spaces
of the United States.
It Is a part of American history that
In other days complaint was made of ;
the great size of the republic, and now
when it is possible to travel in less
than six days the distance between the
c.hlef cities upon the two coasts it
makes tho utterances of the states
men of sixty years ago seem ridicu-.
lous. Ben Johnson —wisest man of
his time —said that man could not
travel 20 miles an hour and live—that
wind pressure would bo too strong
for him to breathe. The statements
of statesmen prior to the Civil War
seem almost as absurd. For many
then favored the secession of the
South because of Its distance and !
thought the United States had more
territory than tt could possibly handle
in the great wastes of the West.
The automobile truly has been a
tremendous factor in linking the
United States together. The Super-
Six has merely carried the attainments
of other cars a step farther.
